Backboards by Ferno
* Flotation rate is defined as the capability of the
backboard to float with a person of a particular
buoyancy on it. The average person with deflated lungs
has a buoyancy of 1.1, meaning the person is 1.1 times
denser than water. The buoyancy rate of 1.2 used to
calculate the floatation rate in this table is an estimated
figure to account for the person having deflated lungs
and wearing wet clothing.
Ferno reserves the right to change specifications
without notice.
If the load limit has been exceeded, inspect the
backboard. See
General Specifications,
above,
for load limits
,
and
Inspecting the Backboard
